New Interface is bad

[AgentLegend]

This interface sucks, the notification system is so trash. It shows me pending trade offers but when I click it there's nothing. Also with messages too, when I click it there is no new messages but in notification it shows You have new messages and it wont go.

The Store page loads so late and kinda glitchy, other tabs works fine.
Also with the inventory, it is always showing error unable to load try again later. I have to use vpn to load it. Please fix these issues Valve on your new update. Thank you!

i fully agree, they at the least should've given us the option to switch back to the old interface. this one really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks and the funny thing is it lags even on my 11th gen intel cpu. man what were they thinking when rolling out a piece of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this badly optimised, then again it seems to be the standard nowadays

honestly this is the absolute worst update they've rolled out ever, the interface sucks ass and it lags more, even though i'm not "lagging" I can see the performance differences when loading different aspects of the client. I hate this update so much. It's even worse that they removed the ability to use UI skins so we can't even go back to the old look. Steam... why...

[󠁳 ⁧󠁳 ⁧Michael]

I never thought that they would release an update as bad as this one, my client constantly crashes, when I click on something it gives a black screen, the notification system is terrible, sometimes steam closes by itself and does not come back, and not to mention the several times that 'stopped working' and asks for a restart. Until yesterday I could use the old version, but now it's impossible to go back, just an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

steam should fix these errors

It simlpy looks like a giant turd on fire

[Wunder]

its similar crap like mobile version.

It's funny because earlier this year I said "when steam changes their UI it's going to be somehow be worse" I thought I was being pessimistic. In game overlay is absolute trash now, replaced text menus with ugly mobile UI buttons, plus I can't alt tab and use my browser now while it is open. Give people the option to use the old style, just like every other company your UI updates are garbage.

Here's a better suggestion:
Why don't you guys go help the devs since it seems like you think you have what it takes to do it perfectly.
This new UI seems more responsive compared the the old one.

As much as I like new functionalities that they added, the UI design is bad. Everything is absurdly big, bulky, overly simplified and angular, where are the roundings? There are no stylization at all, everything looks like it was designed by engineer or 12 year old who learns how to make his first website.

But the discussion title says otherwise. TBH I went to the discussions as soon as I saw the update and was looking forward to discussions about the Pros and Cons of the new UI.
But all I saw was people blabbering about the Cons but not even one word was mentioned about the Pros.

I won't buy games on Steam anymore. The new client is the worst bloatware I've ever seen. Tons of unnecessary steps for the basic things, cluttered interface, a step backwards in every way, and pointless demands on the computer hardware.
With GPU accelerated rendering turned off, the client is unusably slow and laggy (especially in big picture mode), but with it turned on it takes up a lot of VRAM unnecessarily. And on top of that, cutting basic features like the MP3 player.

if you are getting performance issues then go to settings and change it to low performance mode. It might help ya

Low performance mode is enabled and still the interface is unusable with GPU accelerated rendering disabled, which pointlessly uses up a lot of valuable VRAM.
With the previous version of the client, the interface run smoothly in both basic and big picture mode with GPU accelerated rendering disabled, plus it was more intuitive and also had a music player which I used with some games to play my custom music.
